Pink Saigon
The Pink Collection was only a limited run back in the Spring of 2008. Featured here is one of the House's staples, the Saigon. Measuring 11" x 8" x 4.7 for the Petit Modèle and 13.8" x 9.8" x 6.3" for the Grand version, it is an occasional bag that suits more formal settings but a nice punch colour will lighten any wardrobe. The wooden slats and handles are taken from Goyard's history as trunk makers.

Goyard Core Collection: Hardy
The Hardy was originally designed to be a pet carrier as noted by the ventiliation holes that are on the side that says "Goyard Paris". It comes in two sizes Petit Modèle (15.7"x12.2"x6.7") and Grand Modèle (19.6"x15"x7.5"). Currently priced 1045 € for the classic tones (black/black T1, red T2, black/tan T3) and 1360 € for all others for the PM and 1545 € for the classic finishes, 2010 € for the others in the GM.

Kanye West
In 2010, Goyard collaborated with Kanye West to produce the "Robot Face Backpack". It was a custom order made for the rapper-producer. A "K" and "Star" at the front further personalizes his bag. Goyard is still one of those companies that if you can't find anything in their designs that suits your taste or needs, they can make one for you! Pretty neat huh?

Goyard Case bearing a Taj Mahal Coin
Monnaie de Paris released late last year a Taj Mahal Gold Coin set with 68 Cartier Diamonds and weighs 1kg. It was befittingly encased in a specially made Goyard Presentation Box with Goyardine Canvas with tan leather and wood trim. There were only 29 of these that were made and was valued at $140,000. The Goyard case alone was $7000.
The obverse features an intricate sculpted image of The Taj Mahal with the initials “RF” which stands for the Republic of France.
Goyard Window Display
This was taken a few years ago of one of Goyard's Holiday Windows. It features a colourful display of Croisières and Ambassades, staples of the House.

Goyard iPhone 4 Case
I have been waiting for this ever since I stood in line for my iPhone 4 almost a year ago. Goyard has now an iPhone 4 case!!! Crafted out of chevron canvas, it clips onto the back of the phone and has a protective cover that is secured by a magnetic closure. Currently it is only available in black. I need to call the boutique tomorrow and find out if it is already available in the US.
UPDATE: I called the SF Boutique and the SA I talked to said that it is slated to be released sometime in October. Also, that the price would be around $850. WHAAAAAAT???!!!! I do hope she made a mistake thinking I was asking for an iPad case. But who knows?!

Goyard Core Collection: Tonga
The Tonga, part of Goyard's Core Collection pieces, is a small bag measuring 10" x 10" x 3" with a 9" drop for the handles. Zippered to secure one's belongings, it is the perfect piece for the daily essentials. The colour orange sets this petite sac as a Spring/Summer bag but can also be added as a punch of colour for the Autumn/Winter months. Currently the Tonga is out of stock at the Goyard Boutique in San Francisco. Priced at $1450, it will take 4 to 5 months to get your order. So if you want to have one now, it is being sold at Fashionphile.com from which these photos were taken from.

Goyard Croisiere in Silver
One thing that I love about Goyard is that you can customize it to your specifications and taste. Take for example this 35cm Croisière. The silver canvas was a limited run and was quite expensive as compared to its coloured counterparts. To add more of a personal touch, the owner decided to have a Green Peace Sign embossed on it. Truly a special piece! Photos from A Second Chance Resale.
Goyard in Pink
I know a lot of people missed the release of the Pink Collection from Goyard. I still remember when it was released while I was visiting New York. It would've have been nice had it become a permanent line but like the gold and silver, it only had a limited run.
